press, he finds the Bible laid on the bishop's neck, the pastoral staff put in his hand, and the chalice with bread in it for the priest, some of the consecrating and ordaining ceremonies." But he comforts himself with this consideration (p. 7, c. 1), that he "can better afford to be somewhat mistaken than the bishop; for, granting him right in this remark, he is plainly wrong in all the rest." How true this is, let any one judge who considers what has been said of Thomas Becket. But as it was the design of Providence, by permitting Mr. Collier to blunder as he does, to teach him humility, he mistakes even after reproving the bishop, and inspecting the book, or “an oyer of the record." Let him look once more: he will find that "the chalice with the bread in it" is not one of the 'ordaining ceremonies" for a priest. The words of the Rubric are: "The bishop shall deliver to every one of them the Bible in the one hand, and the chalice or cup with the bread in the other hand, and say." It seems taken from the Roman Pontifical, "De Ordinatione Presbyteri," where the bishop is thus represented: "Tum tradit cuilibet successive calicem cum vino et aqua et patenam superpositam cum hostia." One would think Mr. Collier might have known, that, though putting the bread in the cup be a mass-ceremony, it is not an ordaining one.
